I was just wondering about this concerning my 2010 Ram truck. I bought a set of aftermarket wheels and tires to use on it in the summer. I really hate the thought of having the light on all of the time, but I don't want to switch them out. I want to leave the orgignal sensors in the original wheels.
Sensors from the dealer run around $50 each at my cost. However I've seen them on ebay for around that price per set of 4. Those are supposed to be genuine Mopar parts, too.
What gives on the price difference?
Also, will the truck learn to read the new sensors, or will it have to be reprogrammed?

from what i have seen all Chrysler products seem to relearn the sensors on their own. i always just mark where they came from so it makes it a little easier. changing sensors really isn't to bad. they either bolt on from the top with a 11 or 12 mm socket or they have a small screw on the bottom of the sensor that screws into a special valve stem which you should be able to get at any tire shop




I guess I should have gone into a bit more detail. I now have my original steel wheels (with original sensors) with rough tires I will only use in the winter, and a second set of tires and wheels for summer use. I didn't want to have to break down each set a couple of times a year to switch the sensors back and forth. I want to leave the original sensors in the original wheels.
So I'm debating whether to just let the dash light shine in the summer or whether to buy the cheap sensors on ebay and install them on my summer set of wheels and tires.
Thanks for the reply,
